--- Comment #7 from Hans-Peter Guggenbichler <hanspeterg at gmx.net> ---
On some forums (I don't remember on which ones) I read, that this is related to
contacts with a birthday field.
So I tried this:
1)    backup all contacts from ~/.local/share/contacts 
       remove all contacts from contacts directory  (~/.local/share/contacts)
       stop akonadi
       remove all akonadi related files
       start akonadi
       Result: kaddressbook starts, is usable, is empty, of course
2)  add some contacts to the contacts dir.
      ensure that there is no BDAY field in any of them
       stop akonadi
       remove all akonadi related files
       start akonadi
       Result: kaddressbook starts, is usable !

3) add all the other contacts to contacts dir. Now there are many of them with
a BDAY field.
      stop akonadi
       remove all akonadi related files
       start akonadi
       Result: kaddressbook starts, is usable !?!?!?!?

I don't know why, but now it is working.
